GZ Mosque Nixed?

"After weeks of heated debate over plans for an Islamic community center near Ground Zero - the site of the 9/11 attacks on New York - it seems Muslim leaders will soon back down, agreeing to move to a new site...

"Sources in New York said on Monday that Muslim religious and business leaders will announce plans to abandon the project in the next few days..."

...or is it a failure to raise money?

"Another factor in the apparent climbdown is a lack of funds to pay for construction of the center, estimated to cost a hundred million dollars. Backers hope moving it will lead to a wave of support, accompanied by cash donations."

Perhaps the Jihadists are slowly beginning to realize that GZ mosque simply could not be built fast enough to be completed in time for their 9-11-2011 celebrations.

This guy has got to have the hugest tin ear of any politician in my lifetime. And I'm no spring chicken. He couldn't hear a thing the public has to say about anything, or at least he doesn't seem to have heard, based on his stupid policies so far.

That would make for a great political cartoon: Obama's metal ears sticking out with obvious rivets holding the sheet metal together at the seams, and the caption would show his hand cupping the enormous tin ear saying 'what did you say?'

Not that he would ever ask that question, maybe I need more work on the caption.
